"NEW ORLEANS — Vessels continued to skim oil off the Gulf of Mexico on Saturday after about 88,200 gallons of oil were released from a Shell flow line about 90 miles off the coast of Louisiana.
Shell said in a news release that oil is not expected to reach the shoreline. The company said the sheen is moving in a western direction. The company also said the spill has not caused fishing grounds to be closed.
The U.S. Coast Guard said the spill has not injured wildlife. The agency said five skimmers had recovered about 23,800 gallons of oily water."
The Associated Press had the story May 15, 2016.
